Meindl Footwear Size Conversion
Meindl uses German (EU) and UK sizing as standard. Slight size differences may occur between boot models due to construction.
Tip: Only a boot that really fits makes you happy! If you are between sizes, Meindl recommends going up to the larger size for comfort, especially when wearing thicker hiking socks.

How to Measure — Footwear

1
Foot Length Place your foot on a sheet of paper. Mark the back of the heel and the tip of the longest toe. Measure the distance between the marks in mm and find your size in the chart above.
2
Measure Both Feet Always measure both feet. Most people have one foot slightly larger — always use the larger measurement.
3
Best Time to Measure Measure in the afternoon or evening when your feet are at their largest. Avoid measuring first thing in the morning.
4
Wear Your Hiking Socks When measuring for hiking or mountain boots, wear the socks you plan to use — this affects your ideal size significantly.
5
Toe Room A correctly fitted Meindl boot should have about 10–12mm of space at the toe. This prevents toe impact on descents.

Amazing comfort right out of the box. So far my favourite boot. Held well in the wet.

Very comfortable right of the box

I tested many boots this year and this one honestly holds to best. Memory foam makes this pleasure to wear. Comfort is incredible. Walked at home for about 2 weeks and went for a 20km hike with no issues, just pleased.

Top class as always

Very good boots, comfortable etc...my 3rd pair. Just a little disappointed that the last pair began to leak much earlier than expected despite regular conditioning and proofing etc.

How to Choose Hiking Boots & Shoes

How to Choose Hiking Boots & Shoes

Hiking shoe vs. hiking boot

  • Hiking shoes
  • Often lighter weight, lower cut, more flexible and more breathable
  • Ideal for day hikes or backpacking with lighter loads
  • Hiking boots
  • Burlier, with stiffer uppers, over-the-ankle coverage and typically waterproof
  • Ideal for multi-day treks with heavier loads

Types of hiking boots

  • Day-hiking boots: Mid- to high-cut models that require less break in time; intended for day hikes or short backpacking trips with light loads
  • Backpacking boots: Often over-the-ankle height and heavier-built with stiffer midsoles; designed to support multiday treks with heavier loads

Consider the lugs

  • Deep, thick lugs improve grip
  • Wider lug spaces sheds mud and offer good traction
